There is the topic "mod detectives: finding hard to find mods" and plenty of people will give you there preferred list; but I have not seen an UP TO DATE list of utilities to clean or manage levelled lists or anything like that. So, I'm going to ask:

What is the current community choice for mod cleaning? TESAME?

What is the current community choice for merging levelled lists? Horatio's Lev List merger?

ST
ps I do use wrye mash (standalone) for mod management so that is already covered

[John Moore]

Merging leveled lists: use Wrye Mash

Merging Objects: TESTool or SmartMerger

Cleaning mods: TESTool or Escog for beginners. Enchanted Editor or TESAME for more experienced modders who can recognize all the references that need to be removed. (although TESTool is still very handy for anyone. It's fast and straightforward.) TES3CMD if you know how to use command line.

For Load Order maintenance: Mlox and Wrye Mash

[Jessie Butterfield]

TESPCD's main function is conflict detection, but as a cleaning tool it's usability is underappreciated. At least I see no situation where I'd wish to choose TESAME over it.

[Frank Firefly]

TES3CMD if you know how to use command line.

...or dare a little Mash tweaking
masher.py

I conclude that TESPCD is exactly what http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1132492-relzbetawipz-tes4edit/page__view__findpost__p__16585606 is for Oblivion.
